Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at it with numbers!

a=-2 , b=4

a*2b is -2*2(4)  ---> -2*8 ---> -16

If you multiple a negative and a negative it will be positive, but if you multiply a positive and a negative it will be negative;

+ * + = +

+ * - = -

- * -  = +

I hope this helps!
